This is somewhat-off topic... but I recently seen these and though that other might be interested. Miyatake-design mecha and tank Radio Control Toys:

They are 16,800 and 18,900 Yen each originally, but RCMart has them for $74.00 USD and $59.00:

There are 3 color variations of each. This site also has a lot of pictures including packaging etc.

I think I want one they look really cool. You can see various Miyatake design implements, like the Monster's sensor domes, similar head likes on the U.N. Forces' 6 x 6 along with other stylings

Gunwalker is a bit too niche even though I love the military-styling. To really "play" it you need lots of ferrous metal floor space so that the electromagnetic feet can "walk" on it. The set only includes a single laminated base plate of about a square foot in area. If you just want a cool mecha for display, it'll fit the bill much better. Very nice detailing, crisp molding, realistic figures. Gunwalker looks great with the 1/35 Gasraki Tactical Armor kits:

I bought mine in HK for about 80USD equivalent, so the $74 price seems pretty fair. BUT, the package is pretty heavy(!) mostly because of the metal base plate, so beware of the shipping charges.

Those are awesome RCs. I almost bought the guntank but it was yellow and not the green version.

I might go back and pick one up for customizing instead.

Its definately toy grade and not "hobby" grade, but hell, it looks way cool. Could definately see this in a Macross side story during Space War 1.
